Data Rescue of the Long-Term Daily Maximum and Minimum Air Temperature Records in Ireland

11th January 6.30 PM - 8.00 PM (refreshments from 6.00 PM)

The Custom House, North Dock, Dublin 1

Carla Mateus is a PhD researcher at National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG). Her PhD project aims include data rescue, digitisation, quality control and homogenisation of long-term instrumental daily maximum and minimum air temperature records since the beginning of the meteorological observations (back to the early and mid-19th century) in Ireland. The homogenised daily air temperature series will be used to assess past extreme air temperature events in Ireland. This talk will focus on: the importance of data rescue, the rescued air temperature series and the double entry of the rescued records. This project is a collaboration between NUIG and Met Éireann.
